On my monitor these photos look rediculously sharp and quite heavily processed, but they are extremely georgeous. Very typical of Oly colors. How will the legacy OM lenses perform on this E5, I wonder? Can someone who has the legendary OM 100f2/90f2 try it out on the E5?

Enjoy the E-5, it's a nice camera, but frankly I like the lenses a hell of a lot more than the camera One day I'll own a SHG lens, not sure which one (probably the 90-250 though)
1280pix versions at the links
E-5 with 50-200 and 1.4xTC
I freaking love Oly colors / profiles - I dunno why, but I don't have to screw around with them nearly as much as I did with Nikon (D90, D300 or D700) when using profiles. I guess an Xrite could have helped me but no need.

The ducks aren't really that heavily processed (to me at least), but I think the high pass I gave the closer-one (in NX2) makes it look a bit "super sharp" after the downrezz + sharpen routine from Lightroom.
Basic flow is Viewer to TIFF. Import lightroom, chroma NR, blacks +5, Topaz Denoise for luma NR and sharpening at once, then into NX2 (sometimes) for Tonal contrast and high pass sharpening, back to Lightroom to export as a 1280px photo and screen sharpening "normal"
The colors are basically "i-enhance" which goes a little crazy on browns and reds but I like it (and actually the light during those shots was very nice - reflecting the fall colors in the water). I may have used a polarization filter on them by a small degree (Color Efex)
I don't have any OM stuff but my adapted Nikon works just fine (50mm f/1.8), though I need to play with a nice AIS lens or something because the manual focus action on the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 sucks
